Tällainen radiohaastattelu käytiin rapakon tuolla puolen:
"Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed on the
radio the other
day and you have to read his reply to the lady who
interviewed him
concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel
about gunlaws
you gotta love this!!!!
This IS one of the best comeback lines of all time.
It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview
between a
female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald
who was about
to host a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military
installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are
you going to
teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them
climbing, canoeing,
archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit
irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly
supervised on
the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a
terribly Dangerous
activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching
them proper
rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to
become violent
killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a
prostitute, but you're
not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended. You gotta
love Marines."

Olen kuullut tästä alkuperäisen ääniraidan. Se on vielä hauskempi livenä =).
Hauska juttu kyllä, mutta ei tuota koskaan oikeasti ole tapahtunut. Tuntuu tietysti siltä, että olisi voinut, mutta todellisuudessa kenraalitason upseerit ovat pikkuisen harkitsevampia sanoissaan. Kenraaliksi pääsemiseen, yllätys yllätys, tarvitaan muutakin kuin väkivaltainen luonne ja hyvä-veli -suhteita.
Vitsiversio tästä urbaanilegendasta hieman muunneltuna:
A couple went on vacation to a fishing resort up north. The husband liked to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife liked to read.
One morning the husband returned after several hours of fishing and decided to take a short nap. Although she wasn't familiar with the lake, the wife decided to take the boat out.
She rowed out a short distance, anchored, and returned to reading her book. Along came the sheriff in his boat. He pulled up alongside her and said, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading my book" she replies as she thinks to herself, "Isn't it obvious?"
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informed her.
"But officer, I'm not fishing. Can't you see that?"
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with rape," snapped the irate woman.
"But, I haven't even touched you," groused the sheriff.
"Yes, that's true," she replied, "but you do have all the equipment."
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who knows how to read.
Ehkä tämä pohjautuu tuohon vitsiin, mutta kyllä se on mp3:kin liikkeellä. Ehkä se onkin sitten lavastettu juttu...? Toisaalta en ihmettelesi, jos jenkkikenraali noin sanoisikin. Siellä päin maailmaahan upseeriston esiintymistä ei ole rajoitettu yhtä paljon kuin Suomessa. Jenkeissähän voi aktiivi kenraali olla ehdolla vaikka presidentiksi kun Suomessa ei saa kuulua edes puolueeseen. Sitä paitsi jos (aina niin luotettavaan) populaarikulttuuriin on uskomista ovat jenkkikenraalit aika sekopäitä =).
